    Mormon missions probably prepare the guys to balance football and school better than anything. They get up at 6 ish, study, and will be used to a stringent schedule. They come back two more years physically mature so the ability to add mass is easier. As for legit prospects, a buddy of mine went on a mission with a couple of poly kids that had no issues going to a golds gym in Brooklyn back in the day and both ended up in the NFL.

    I think it depends a lot on where the kids are sent and what their specific mission entails. I have no doubt kids pledged to BYU get the assignments where they have the best resources available.
    I've noticed that preferred missions kids get places like Seattle etc. Non-preferred kids get places like the Congo or Haiti.

    Chile. He also was also highly touted as a signee and a stud as a true freshmen and then left which is rare. If they were going to protect anyone he would have been at the top of the list.

    Pretty sure you can request to have a preference to go foreign or learn a language and that would make sense.

    I'm on board with this if Auburn destroys us up front.

    It's gonna be feel like BYU kids get a preference because nearly the entire team goes on one. That being said there are plenty of kids on the team that ended up in south america or the Philippines. Lolohea who I think has been gone for a year now went to Detroit. BTW, I hope CCP is actively writing him. I have a fear he'll spend time in Ann Arbor or East Lansing and get poached or fall in love with a girl there and decide not to don the P&G. Don't get me wrong, kids can get fucked over and become malnourished or catch a bug, but that's more the exception than the norm.
